Your post made me think of a couple of things.
As you said, you are bound to lose some friends just because the dynamic changes between you. (BTW I think being selfish in a good way is excellent.)
Second--well, is it really crucial to open up to your friend in the way you are? You might find that the friendship is stable and includes lots of things, but maybe talking about BP isn't one of them. It is probably worth approaching your friend and telling her what you feel (concerned about the friendship) and ask how she feels, and the two of you together can cook up a way to be close.
That is, if you and your friend are both open to being flexible about going where the friendship wants to go.
Good luck. Sounds like you are doing very well.
